and will adopt this form of exercise as
the best under the circumstances for re-
duciBg his flesh. No amount of persua-
sion vail induce him to walk about the
streets. This mode of exercise was,
next to driving, General Grants greatest
pleasure. His face was as familiar in the
avenue as it WAS in the White House,
but Mr.. Cleveland is more
methodic man. He hates crowd quite
as much as he hates persistent office
taker. He is so afraid of attracting
ATTENTION TO HIMSELF
that he will not even walk in the White
House grounds, but reserves this pleas
ure for the more assured privacy of Oak
View. He is fond Of the open sir, but
up to the present time his enjoyment IL
this direction has been limited

Secretary Whitney few days ago, the
President eagerly adopted il. He has
made arrangements with the dire ctors
that his lessons shall be
GIVEN IN PRIVATE
until he has mastered the art. He will
be found there from 1880 to $3.50
6. N. When he acquires a
substantial roadster capable OF carrying
him easily. and will spend his leisure mo-
ments galloping about the attractive sub
urbS which adorn the nations capital.

taries Whitney, Endicott, Bayard and
Lamar, as well as many other gentlemen
well known in the political and social
world.
THE ARIZONA BONANZA.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - Dispatches
which reach here from Arizona say that
the richness of the newly discovered bo-
mama gold mine near Prospect has not
been overestimated. The discoverers OF
the nine were poor men Their names
are Haskell and Harrington. Haskell
was g carpenter. Harrington has been
employed for the past few years as bar
tender. It IS believed If the mine
sassl continue to ''pan out"
as we'll as it has thus far
that 1t will realize TO its fortunate pro-
prietors q fortune Of not
less thsn $50, 900. The
Arizona people say that now that the
troublesome Indians have been driven
out of the territory the mineral belt in
which this new mine is situated will
probably be opened up within the next
few years. The belt in question en-
braces a strip of land about one hundred
miles long and about twenty-five miles
wide.

$50 people. Operations will be directed
by Chief Engineer Menocal and while the

scheme from the Fittieth Congress. Tie
Esd's ship railway by wey Of Tehuante-
pee is declared by the Nicaragua people
to be moribund and they claim De
Lesseps' Panams canal is in such
HDaECihl StIaltS as lO m1ES lHS

OF notable strength. Army and navy Of
